Photo-3 I spotted this wonderful display of eggshell planters at the mighty Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco's Mission District. (Note the fresh-from-the-fryer bacon maple apple donuts in the upper left.) Instructables has a how-to on making your own "eggshell seed starters."

    OK, decorative, artistic, and useful items can be made from eggshells. I see a lot of them on BB. Is someone in the inner circle planning to publish an eggshell craftbook, or what?

  • tamgoddess

    Bacon. Maple. Apple. Donuts.

  • Alvis

    Donuts from an oven? Don’t they have to be deep-fried?

    • David Pescovitz

      Yes. Thanks.

    “Now I am as old
    As the Wester Wood,
    But have never seen anyone [planting] in eggshells!”

  • Marky

    Thanks for infecting my brain, I never knew about bacon maple apple donuts.

    They’re only 2959 miles away… road trip?

  • scionofgrace

    Aww! They’re so cute!
